President George W. Bush signs paperwork establishing the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument on January 6, 2009Marianas Trench Map
The Marianas Trench Marine National Monument is a United States National Monument created by President George W. Bush by the presidential proclamation no. 8335[3] on January 6, 2009.[4][5][6][7] The monument includes no dry land area, but protects 95,216 square miles (246,610 km2) of submerged lands and waters in various places in the Mariana Archipelago. The United States could create this monument under international law because the maritime exclusive economic zones of the adjacent Northern Mariana Islands and Guam fall within its jurisdiction.
